MARA Holdings Soars as Bitcoin Rally and Trump's Crypto Push Fuel Momentum — BigGo Finance

MARA Holdings Inc. (MARA) shares rose 15.5% to $11.15 on Thursday, driven by Bitcoin's rally above $77,000 and a White House crypto summit. The company, with 35,577 BTC on its balance sheet, is seen as a leveraged play on Bitcoin. MARA reported a $609.7 million net loss in Q2, but CEO Fred Thiel plans to expand into AI and digital energy solutions. Bitcoin's potential rise to $100,000 and the Clarity Act's progress are key factors for MARA's future performance.
